Updating Color Project with Edit Changes in FCP

Hi,
My apologies if this topic as been discussed already and thanks for any input.
So I finished a project in Color recently and the director then changed the edit in FCP. Some of the clips were either pulled or trimmed.
Can I avoid starting from scratch since the edit change a tiny bit?
Is their any way Color will can reimport the new (updated) sequence without losing all the grading I've already done
Thanks!

If the clip order and layer hierarchy are identical, then New Project, Import Color Corrections.
If the clip order changes, there may be a slight chance that Reconform will work, but up until version 1.04, this will only be successful with single-layer only sequences. I am told that version 1.5 has a better chance of success.
If there are only slight changes, then do a "difference" sequence, save the grades for those shots from your original COLOR project and then re-grade the changed shots, to reconform them into the (from COLOR) sequence.

Update of project planning after change in activity type

Hello Experts,
we are doing manual activity input planning ( CJ40 ) via customer report per year equal to project dates.
This means if we change activity plan price ( KP26 ) in future years, we need to recalculate the planned values in project system.
If we manually change values in CJ40 after changes in KP26 the system calculates the new monetary value in background
Example: Planned on project 10 Hrs a 20€ = 200€ // change price of activity type to 30€ // Plan 1 additional hour in CJ40: Monetary value changes to 11 Hrs a30€ = 330€ and posts +1 Hr with +130€ price difference.
Is there a opinion to adjust/update the monetary value after changes in KP26 without changing plan values?
Thanks

Hi Frank,
I am not sure what kind of project cost planning you are using. Usually it is either direct WBS cost planning with CJR2 or cost roll up from Network Activities and Orders or ECP.
The system will take AType price relevant for the period. If you have 100 hours with price 20 for Year N and 50 hours with price 30 for Year N+1, the planned cost will be 2000 + 1500 = 3500.
CJ40 is the Overall Planning, but you still can select a year (as a period). In the Overall view you have no button for Activity Input, it will show up only when you select a year.

Exporting photos with editing changes

Hi, I am new to LightRoom. This question might be stupid, but I am having trouble exporting my photos and maintaining the editing changes that I have made. Here are the specifics: I made changes to many raw photos using LR on my desktop computer (Microsoft XP operating system). I then exported those photos, as raw photos and jpegs, to organize them within my hardrive and further edit at a later date. I recently purchased a MacBook Pro. I then copied those exported photos onto my external hard drive and copied them onto my MB. I then imported the file into LR and the original photos are there without any of the editing I did such as changing WB, sharpening, etc. I am wondering what I did wrong? Did I miss a step, fail to check or uncheck some box, or is this a issue with going between Mac and Windows? Any suggestions?
Thank you,
carrie

One follow-up question...again, probably a naive one. Would I be able to tell the editing changes by looking at either the metadata or the developing tools of the jpg files that I edited in raw? Changes such as wb, sharpening, color boosting, etc. I am browsing through my jpgs and they don't appear to contain those editing changes that I speak of. Otherwise, Lee's answer makes sense to me. However, I am not sure if what my eye is perceiving is due to monitor differences. That is why I would like to see exactly if those changes registered.
Thanks,
carrie

Updating Encore CS4 project with subsequent changes in Premiere Pro CS4

Hi, I would like some help with the following issue (I could not find anything in the documentation):
If I create an Encore project (CS4), then watch the resulting DVD and realise that I still need to make a few changes in my original premiere Project / sequence, is there any way of updating the Encore Project without having to start from scratch?
When I tried this today, Encore still just told me about the transcoded previous version of my sequence and I could find no way of convincing the programme that the sequence had changed. When I tried to import the new sequence, for some reason the import function showed me only the top two levels of my directory tree and so I would not access the right directory to try if that option would have worked.
In the end I started a new project, but I guess there must be a better way, especially if you have already finished a complicated menu set-up etc.
Many thanks for your help.

If you dynamic linked, select the sequence in Encore (not the timeline made from it), right click and "Revert to Original."
If you did not dynmamic link, but exported and kept the project embedded, you can right click and pick "Edit Original."
For exports, you can also use the "Replace asset," but use a different name.

How to export a flash project with a changing frame rate to a video

I have a Flash project that is a series of roughly 1000 images. The result of the images is a simple animation, and there is music imported on a separate layer.
There are moments in the music that I wanted to line up with certain frame changes, and there are sections of the music that I wanted to match up with a faster (double-time) frame rate.
I used this code in several places in the a code layer:
stage.frameRate = x;
The result is exactly what I want in SWF -- the animation speeds up and slows down at the exact right moments to match up with the music track, but it seems like it's just not possible to export this variable frame rate project to a video file?
According to the accepted answer on this post: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4019538, it seems that:
The export function in Flash Pro doesn't transcribe *frames*, rather it plays the Flash animation and records it like a camcorder
If that's true, then I would think there is a way to record a variable frame rate project into a video -- does anybody know if this is possible?

That or Premiere would both get the job done. After Effects might be more desirable as it has a feature called Time Remapping (right-click on the video layer, Time->Enable Time Remapping). You can add keyframes to any point in a video and then drag them around to speed up or slow down the video. That'll allow for very precise tweaks.
Finally all I'd suggest is when you jump into your next project, make a quick dummy test project to see if the software you're using is easily capable of producing what you want. It'll solve the headache of completing the project only to land where you are now. Now you know Flash won't play nicely with scripts and Export Movie. If your desired end result was always a video I'd probably use video editing software to make the video. There's some free stuff out there if you really look, but no, it won't be as nice as After Effects or Premiere by any stretch. Although when you see how amazing After Effects is, you'll probably want to buy it .

Lightroom not updating main preview with develop changes. Steps taken, please help...

I have CC photographers package with the latest Photoshop and Lightroom (5.7) installed. Starting yesterday when I make changes to the develop sliders the image doesn't change. The filmstrip preview does but the main preview does not. If I switch to a different image and back I can see the changes but I can't edit that way. I purged caches, increased their size, made a new catalog, uninstalled (and left over files) and ran CC cleaner on the registry then rebooted and re installed. I did not uninstall CC or Photoshop. How can I make the slider changes show up in real time again? It isn't that the changes are lagging. I can change a slider and it WILL NOT change the image no matter how long I wait, but if I switch to another photo and back the changes show up immediately. Searching Google yielded only results about smart previews and was not helpful to me. I am not using smart previews and the actual RAW files are on the same machine Thanks everyone!

I don’t know for sure, but if it just started, not when you installed LR 5.7, then something changed on your system. A display-update issue would perhaps be related to video drivers, so did your system’s video drivers get updated, yesterday, or did you install some game that changed something?
About the only thing I can suggest in this regard is to try rolling back your video drivers or installing the latest video drivers from the video-card manufacturer’s site, or if they have a list of older drivers, archived, then try installing the preview version or two back.

IDVD not reflecting/updating iMovie project changes

Hello all:
Correct me if I'm wrong here but when using the "Share to iDVD" option I remember the previous version of iDVD recognized and updated the project when a change(s) had been made in the iMovie project- it would display a message that the "assets had been changed" and update accordingly.
This doesn't seem to be happening with my installation and so every time I update my iMovie project I have to start with a fresh iDVD theme which is very frustrating if it was just a small modification.
Maybe I have an option turned off - I'm not sure but would appreciate your thoughts.
Best:
Martin

Hi
There is a BUG in iDVD that prevent return to adjust material then come back to iDVD
for further work.
• When done that - iDVD will notice it and ask You to Up-date or Cancel
Neither works eg Chapters will point to same start etc
Medicine - only as I understands it is - Start a brand new iDVD project and re-do.
Yours Bengt W

DVD authoring after editing project with FCP X

FCP X has extremely limited DVD authoring options within it. Can't put more than one short movie on a disc, only two menu templates to choose from, etc. So my question is what do I use to author a DVD after editing projects with FCP X? I know I need to use Compressor to set chapter points, etc., but what do I use to build the DVD menu and burn the DVD? I certainly hope I am not limited to iDVD only, which is not really a pro application, and I gather that DVD Studio Pro is no longer being sold. Amazingly, I asked this question at a One-to-One session at an Apple Store and the guy there suggested Adobe Encore ... I was totally shocked! Does anyone have an answer to all this?

Encore is very good, but you have to buy PPro to get it, you could look on eBay for a copy of DVDSP. It does look like Apple will not be offering a Pro Level DVD authoring package anymore, it's a shame as DVDSP works very well still and they could have just offered it as a standalone.

Updating projects with activities linked to other projects.

Im kind of new at this. I am working on a project with several contracts. i am thinking of setting up each contract as a separate project in an EPS and linking the milestones in all the projects to create a master schedule. On a weekly basis i recieve schedule updates from the contractors. What im wondering is if there is a way i can copy the new schedule in with all the updates without having to re-link all the activities everytime I get an updated schedule? also is this the best way to create a master schedule?

*794503,*
It sounds like your sub projects (contracts) are in sort of a design on the go mode?
To make things a little more manageable I would suggest that you establish a set of standard start and finish milestones for each project in order for you to be able to ensure that your master project major milestones (hopefully integrated with your cost or earned value milestones) remain logically tied to those designated sub project milestones.
With that said, I would just paste the new edition of each contract's schedule into their respective projects. I would make an export (.XER) backup before pasting any new data. It's better to be safe than sorry!
Be mindful of the fact that you probably need to make sure that the logic ties gets pasted by not clicking the box (Relationships / Only between copied activities) on the "Copy Act. Options" dialog box. Otherwise, you'll have to manually tie all of the logic again. A royal pain in the "A" double "S"!!
**Use a copy of the latest project/contract schedule update and as a baseline. Format your bars to also display that baseline schedule on row #2. Also insert a schedule variance column to display date changes between your original vs. newly updated schedule. For analysis of changes.....maybe build a new layout and filter to only display those act's that have major date changes (sched. variances)?
**Another tool to use after the fact would be *"Claim Digger"* in order to analyze the details of what changes were made with each new schedule update.
There is no way to eliminate all of the manual work. :( Some manual verification will always have to be performed.
It would be very smart to get a good grip on how you'll handle these changes early in the project before the situation gets out of hand.
For every "schedule change" made to your schedule the chance of a scheduling error increases. So there you go.
Good luck and let me know how it turns out.

Suddenly stopped getting dialog to edit with LR changes when opening in Photoshop

I have LR4 and PS CS5. Edited several photos this morning without a problem --But this evening, after editing in LR, clicked command+E to open in Photoshop- as I always do, but didn't get the dialog that gives me the option to edit with LR changes. The files are opening as raw instead of TIFF all of a sudden! I have done nothing different aside from updating the Kubota dashboard. Could that have messed things up? This is such a mystery and I have a job to finish! HELP!
I deleted the Kubota plug-in since that was the only thing I did out of the ordinary but still no luck. I am deserate to get images edited in LR transferred to PS WITH THE EDITS! Why would it work one minute and not the next???
Just tried to edit in Color Efex from Lightroom and got the dialogue. So...it's only happening with Photoshop. PLEASE help! I tried uninstalling Photoshop and reinstalling with updated Camera Raw 6.7 plugin. No luck....I need to finish a job!
It worked fine this morning!

With ACR 6.7 installed to Photoshop CS5, even a PV2012 image coming from LR can be opened OK by Photoshop, with all adjustments correct - just the same in this respect, as when using CS6 with ACR 7.
AFAICT the difference being, ACR 6.7 is capable of making a "straight through" conversion employing the 2012 process version, but lacks any interface in which to view and adjust that.
So I suspect the issue here, is not that LR is doing anything wrong. Photoshop's settings need to allow an image that Lr is passing it, to open directly into the editor, wihtout trying to interact with that using the ACR window along the way. This also means, you cannot properly interact with a Smart Object from inside PS, using ACR 6.7, either - when the image develop parameters involved belong to PV2012 (though you can, when these belong to an earlier PV).
IMO the solution probably lies in your PS or your ACR settings - whatever is in effect invoking ACR automatically when PS opens a TIFF. This is what you do not want to happen, for PV2012.
Prior to ACR 6.7, you would have needed to instead select the option "Render in LR" in order to see PV2012 adjustments properly. And you could still do that - leaving ACR with nothing to do, and so making its version compatibility moot - provided it stays out of the way..
Also, I believe that when instead of using the Ctrl+E or "Edit in PS" command, you make and use a named external editing preset, the interaction between LR and PS changes whereby an already-saved file is made on disk before PS sees anything. The other way, what PS opens is an as-yet-unsaved image.
[edit: one reason you are now not seeing a dialog that you did see before, is that ever since you installed ACR 6.7, Lr now realises that Ps has a 2012-compatible conversion - so you now stop getting the incompatibility warning that earlier ACR versions would have flagged up. If the dialog in question has been set to "always do this" (whatever "this" is) then you will just see LR and PS attempt to do that, without asking.
In Lr Preferences, General tab, you can "Reset all warning dialogs".]

Footage changes once color project is loaded from disk

Hi all,
I have a big problem in Color 1.0.4.
I send a 20 minute edit from FCP to Color. All is fine. The edit is the first part of a marriage service. A shoot taken with two camera.
I did originally put the sequence together using Multi-Cam, but then I replaced all the clips with the originals as I had problems when I first went into color with this.
The problem is that one of the angles appears to have lost the information as to where the INOUT points are...This happens once the color project has been loaded from disk. (ALL is fine until I shut Color and reload the project). The sections in the sequence where this camera is used always plays the source file for that camera from the beginning. (A shot from outside the church!) This is causing me all sorts of problems and I cannot seem to get past this. I need to save the work and then re-open in FCP to see what the grade looks like as I don't have an external monitor.
Any help with this would be appreciated.
The thumbnails show the correct footage from the camera. Adding a section to the render queue results in a render of 1 frame. Even though the IN and OUT points on the Color timeline show roughly 20 seconds, the render view shows an in and out point one frame apart...
Thanks in advance,
Richard

What is/are your sequence codec/settings?
I know I get this sort of behavior on my external monitor if I've got a Kona export settings mismatch, but not on the timeline.
When you observe the application running back to "first frame" on park, but finds the correct images on play, sort of infers that there is a broken reference somewhere in how FCP is recalling the media.
Bad container? frame rate mismatch?
But before you re-edit, can you save the effort to this point by "Baking out" a movie of the sequence?
It would be at least interesting to know if QT finds the right media at your edit points. At that point, a fairly straightforward movie could be razored and sent to COLOR...

Keeping my Set Ins & Outs when roundtriping Color Project back to FCP

After rendering my color grades and sending the project back to FCP, I'm loosing my previously set Ins & Outs on the clips in my timeline. For instance, some of the clips in the timeline will have shifted, the timeline is still showing the correct amount of the clip, just the wrong portion of the clip? So I have to go through and Slip edit the clips back into the wright spot.
Am I doing something wrong or is this common.
My Workflow:
1)Working on ProRes Files in FCP 6.0.5
2)Set my in & out point on a clip
3)edit into my timeline
4)play with my speed and ramping of the clips & get thing dialed in
5)Send To Color
6)Color Grade all the clips in timeline
7)Render Color (to original format)
8)Then Send To FCP
9)**This is where I'm finding that I the clips are all in the right order and have the right amount of time in the timeline, it's just showing the wrong portion of the clips. Not all of them, just some.
Any Ideas

Color w/ Time ReMaping Seems to work for me 98% of the time. Out of this 1min project with 13 clips all with special Time Remaping curves only 3 came back out of place.
Ya, well - that doesn't scale well.
The habit you build now you'll use on a 30 minute show. 98% will suddenly overwhelm you. Build good habits now and you'll never have to break them later (or have your client break your fingers as the drop-dead deadline fast approaches and you're tinkering with the slip tool).
And yes, I've had my knuckles rapped a few times before I took this advice to heart.
Good luck!

Sending Color project back to FCP

Hello Guys,
I am completely new to Color, so I apologize for this silly question.
After grading my footage in Color, I am sensing it to Render Queue for render.
When it's done I go FILE/SEND TO/Final Cut.
First, it asks me if I want to change graded FCP sequence to match QT export codec.???
So that's the first problem, I have no idea what exactly that means??? (I had sent it from FCP to Color in ProRes and set Color Project Settings also to ProRes) so what should I change?
But the main problem is: When I send it back to FCP, footage looks exactly as it looked before being sent to Color. No grade changes. So I am wondering ... what do I miss?
Thank you for any advise.

Thanks for your help jPop.
I didn't use smoothcam. I sent my video from FCP to Color and then I applied a tracker to the pan&scan to do a tracking on the face of my character. I tried importing the "raw" files directly into Color without going through FCP and it did produced a file in the render file. The tracking was there but the image was cut in two... The frame is separated in two parts horizontally, making some kind of tile effect. First time I see something like that.
I found this on the online user manual of Color:
"Animating Pan & Scan parameters is not recommended for projects you’ll be sending back to Final Cut Pro, since neither keyframes nor tracker data can be sent back." :s
I'm going to try again with uncompressed video to see if that makes a difference. Do you think I could use the video that Color send to the render file and import that in FCP? If it is not cut in two...
Best wishes

Update SharePoint list with project finish date on Project.Updated event

Hello,
I want to update a column in a SharePoint list with the project finish date when a project is updated on Project Server. My OnUpdated event handler is being called ok, but if I change the project start date Project Server runs an asynchronous republishing
on the project, and my event handler ends up being called before the finish date is update by the republishing job, so the code writes the "old" finish date on the SharePoint list. The solutions I could think of are:
Identify the republishing job on Project Server queue, pool the queue waiting for it to finish, then read the finish date and update the list item in SharePoint.
Include a custom job on Project Server queue after the republishing job, that reads the finish date and update the list item in SharePoint.
I don't know if any of the solutions are feasible and how to implement them. Has anyone coded something like this and/or have a better solution?
Thanks,
GB

I vote for the option 1.
I did for one of my event handler..Did you try "on published" event?
            projectSvc.QueueUpdateProject(jobUid, SessionUID, projectDss, false);
            //WaitForQueue(q, jobUid);
            jobUid = Guid.NewGuid();
            projectSvc.QueuePublish(jobUid, e.ProjectGuid, false, string.Empty);
            jobUid = Guid.NewGuid()
